    Well easier than cutting everybody’s consumption by 50% lmao

    You’d first need to capture the current consumption for everyone, so yes, a ban would be way easier to implement

      I agree an authoritarian ban would not be well received, and likely circumvented.

      The 50% cut in consumption could be achieved voluntarily through subsidy, tariffs, education and health arguments.
